a solstice eclipse

winter solstice eclipse Dec 21, 2010
it happened as Autumn gave way to Winter
in the middle of a cold, cold night
awake for the eclipse
we drug ourselves out of dreams and warm beds
(with cookies and milk to open sleepy eyes)

oh it was cold. the icy porch abandoned in favor of 
cuddling under a window in a pile of blankets and pillows
winter solstice eclipse Dec 21, 2010
we watched it going, going...gone in our own red shadow

a once-in-a-lifetime winter's night

  4. I went into the backyard and then to the front driveway at 1:45 am to see this, but we had a cloud covered sky. I'm so thankful to see your pictures and now I don't feel as if I missed it.
    Thanks for sharing and I love the narration to go with the pictures.
